Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the gluten-free breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and red bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are soft and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread the shredded hash browns evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Layer the cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, and 1.5 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese over the hash browns.
Pour the egg mixture evenly over the layered ingredients in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
